We have seen recently more than +20Mhs with the Zombie Mode with a nice OC... That is getting more than a 1060 6Gb  a 1060 6GB can def do better than 20 MH/s. |

Working on Gigabyte Eagle 3060 on 16x Pci-E slot. Getting a few incorrect shares though, about 10%, don't know if there's anything I can do to fix this. Getting 49 mh/s. Thanks everyone.
Lower mem clock, not all 3060 can do 49 MH/s due to this. But most should be capable of 48. Sounds to me like the person(s) who worked on the driver or made it available wanted to make sure it could not be used in a mining farm or in a capacity such that it would support Rigs with 6 + 3060's on risers. It very clearly seems like they went through a lot to make sure there were plenty of roadblocks. |

Looks like the driver has been taken down? Unless i am not signed in right.
Should be uploaded here: https://mega.nz/file/rE1E0JCS#-xL0bc6t2UiuiZ0Vtc-I9hcqGhV0UIr0B6FKJcdy_kEI did not upload this but it works for me, got it from another thread somewhere else. This may be the only time we get a driver that will work for the 3060 that does this, its clearly communicating to the cards VBIOS and turning off the limiter. Even if it only works for directly attached cards (i.e. PCIe X16) its still a win. |

You dont need trex miner. It works with Excavator on Nicehash as well at least. |

Im getting 49.80 MH/s with +1400 memory and 80% power limit.
Pretty insane for a card thats supposedly $329.
Some folks are saying it only works on one card, or only works on cards connected directly via X 16 and also requires a monitor plugged in.
Some are saying Zotac cards dont work at full speed.
All I know is ive got an EVGA card with a dummy HMDI plug (for plex server) and it works great. Very happy with the additional income over Octopus.

Server is always running xmrig now at 1585 h/s but I was wondering if I could mine anything with the navidia GeForce gts 450 1gb video card that it has. What alt coin would you try mining in my situation?
Nothing, that card is total trash. Its a crime against nature/the world to waste power on such a shit card. |

I have a 1060 3GB among my GPUs. It absolutely refuses to mine anything other than BeamV3. What coins are BeamV3, anyway? How big is the Kawpow DAG file, is it big enough to eliminate 3GB GPUs now?
KawPow DAG is like 3300 MB I think. It was around that size when I saw it loading on my 1650 Super awhile back. |

Of course they'll never say how, to keep them to themselves. Typical. That being said, there's rumors its only Octopus they are showing, and those speeds are exactly what you'd expect from a tuned card (3060). Could also be GPU resellers trying to increase the price of 3060 artificially. I refuse to believe it until its confirmed by a trusted source. |

Take this with a grain of salt, but a couple of weeks ago I read on reddit that someone (or group) was working on a "fix" where it would store the dag in the normal system RAM, and then just stop and restart mining every 60 seconds (or however long it takes for the throttling to begin), then copy the dag back into the GPU memory, rinse and repeat
Pretty sure I read the nerf is instant, the mining programs lag with the output they show. Nvidia isn't stupid. |

Right now there is no known way to get around, and there likely never will be.
Not true. It's as simple as antivirus with the hat colours reversed. The antivirus is wearing the black hat because it's blocking software legitimate users want. That motivation alone makes it only a matter of time until it's cracked. The Nvidia block is nothing more than a signature based "virus" detector with only one virus definition, that being ethereum miners. Just need to tinker with the mining code to find the signature Nvidia uses and change it slightly. It doesn't even have to change the algorithm, just the code used as the signature. Then Nvidia will need to update the virus definition, but that's not as simple as with AV software. Users will actively resist the update and the only way to force it is with new hardware. Well it hasn't happened thus far, if it were easily done, it would be cracked already. Nvidia can also improve it as each new card comes out, who knows, the 3080 Ti could be limited across all major algos. |

The question has been asked many times.
Right now there is no known way to get around, and there likely never will be.
I run my 3060 in my Plex server for transcoding duty but also mine Octopus on it.
Nice hash says it gets around $3.15 a day as of today with 45 MH/s on octopus. (80% PL, +250 core, + 1200 mem).

Just thought id toss in the hash rate of 2 cards that are not very popular (for mining at least).
GTX 1650 Super - 12.45 MH/s ( +150 core / + 1500 memory) @ 100 watts power consumption (VBIOS limit).
GTX 1650 Ti (laptop) - 9.4 MH/s (+ 200 core / +225 memory) @ 50 watts power consumption (VBIOS limit).
1650 Ti laptop is extremely efficient.

Memory bus is only 192 bits, dont think for a second that this is a 3060 Ti, its not.

Gamers are their long term market and miners come and go. NVIDIA is really just doing this to show that they care about their core gamer crowd because right now gamers are seriously angry about all the jacked up prices due to mining.
Yup, as shown in the past, mining is only a temporary spike. They need to take care of the core market. On Twitter, Bryan Del Rizzo (Director of global PR for GeForce) confirmed that the anti-crypto technology works as a secure handshake between the driver, the GPU silicon, and BIOS. The latter confirms that this is indeed a BIOS implementation and explains how RTX 3060 in a very early test was already seeing the limited performance. The technology simply does not need a driver to work.
What is particularly interesting here is that according to the tweets, NVIDIA would relaunch its existing SKUs under a new Device ID. This means that future RTX3090/3080/3070/3060Ti models would carry a different ID and feature the anti-crypto algorithm. It is unclear when and if NVIDIA will even announce this change |

I'm sure that after a while the drivers will be patched by "folk craftsmen", and after a while Nvidia official unlocked versions will appear. This is the dialectic of life and marketing. In addition, it is easy enough to adapt the Nvidia laptop driver for desctop graphics if desired. Such drivers for RTX3060 were already released in January 2021, and they have no restrictions for mining. This already led to a unique phenomenon - the emergence of mining farms on laptops.
Hmmm no, I dont think so. The chips are different. The cuda core count is different along with a lot of the power delivery stuff. Laptop has 6GB memory desktop has 12. Too many differences. |

I’m also not taking into account ETH and BTC doubling in 3 months!
Where can I find 1060’s, oh, the last 1060 on eBay sold for 398 today.
In other words, I will buy most cards that seem reasonable and have a responsible ROI horizon, while counting on the wizards on this forum to develop and publish a workable bios.
Nvidia came out and said its "un hackable". I would not bet on these suddenly getting unlocked. Yes, you can flash firmware but no one has been able to edit firmware due to it being encrypted. |

So you guys heard about nvidias latest announcement right? I was planning to build my very first rig and was really excited till this dropped. I already bought all the other equipment's too. So since im a new miner and I don't have extended knowledge like you guys, help me out here. They said they will do some software manipulation to half the hash rate via driver or something but what if I don't update the drivers or use old ones? Even if I do its for windows right? So linux or hive os could use the cards full potential right? Even if that fails surely people can make custom drivers or bios to make it work right? I guess all I'm trying to say is should I still go for 3060? I mean I'm really gonna be very sad if my first rig fails like that surely you guys understand. What do I do now?
Nvidia just said it cant be hacked, I would not bank on someone figuring anything out. It does not matter what OS you use. That is irrelevant. A rig of cards that do 24 MH/s each sucks when you're paying like $400+ per card. Might as well go buy used GTX 1060 6GB because the hashrate is the same. Funny how miners are grasping at straws now. These suck for mining, get over it. |

I managed to get one on Amazon, waiting for ship date.
Their dedicated miner hashrate does not look very good, depending on the MSRP.
If the 3060 mines at 24, given what I'm getting on an RX 470 today, that still means the 3060 will make $3.12, thats 130 days ROI before electricity costs.
Two months ago I was mining the 470 at about $1.20 a day and as long as I broke even on electricty, I was OK.
So, nice try Nvidia!
You're not taking into considering the difficulty going up and electric of course. No one is going to be paying $329 for these, more like $400 if you include taxes. This is not a desirable mining card at all. GTX 1060 6GB can be had for cheaper and do the same. |

There should be a way around this, years ago there are gurus online that build their own Nvidia and AMD drivers from scratch to get better performance out of a gpu and they work better than the official released drivers, I'm guessing this same thing will happen with this RTX3060
That ended with Maxwell cards, you'd be locked to 300 MHz now. Also, its apparently enforced via VBIOS as well so seemingly one would need to mod VBIOS AND the driver, they've done a very good job making it essentially impossible to get around. And if by chance some person or team was lucky enough to get around it, do you really think they'd share it publicly? No, it only make sense to keep it to yourself and build a 3060 farm. |
